The disabling effects of psychiatric drugs are only partially to blame. Why do so many people end up on disability payments and what does this ultimately indicate about the Mental Health System? Statistics show that fewer than 1% of those who were on federal disability in 2011 have made it back to work. Is psychiatry creating an economic culture of disability?

PSSD: Sexual Dysfunction from psychiatric drugs  SSRI and other psych drugs cause sexual inhibition, but doctors are likely to tell you "It's a minor annoyance." However, both men and women are reporting complete numbness and total inability to function sexually. Even worse, the condition, now called PSSD, is often permanent. Since this effect is so devastating and can be embarrassing to talk about, it is grossly underreported. Daryl from the UK joins us tonight to discuss his own experience and the data he continues to collect. He has experienced retalliation as a whistle-blower also. Listeners should be aware that we will not shy away nor skirt around this difficult topic. We will discuss the situation openly and frankly. Therefore, it may not be appropriate for children to hear.

Her full biography can be found here. She has published and lectured extensively over a period of decades. Notably, she served on the DSM-IV Task Force for two years before resigning on moral and ethical grounds and then wrote an expose on the DSM process called They Say You're Crazy: How the World's Most Powerful Psychiatrists Decide Who's Normal (1995) and later was first editor of Bias in Psychiatric Diagnosis. She currently is an Associate in the Hutchins Center for African and African American Research at Harvard, as well as being Project Director of the Voices of Diversity Project about sexism and racism on college campuses. Tonight our focus will be on Dr. Caplan's unique work with veterans and her multi-awardwinning film, "Is Anybody Listening?" which is about the danger in the chasms between veterans and nonveterans, and the unifying project she has created, "Listen to a Veteran." The film and project grew from the work on her most recent book, When Johnny and Jane Come Marching Home: How All of Us Can Help Veterans (2011, 2016), We should be alarmed that the effects of war and rape trauma in the military and elsewhere are often labeled "PTSD" instead of deeply human reactions! 01:00:00JuliemadbloggernoVeterans,PTSD,trauma,war,Psychiatric SurvivorsIs PTSD a real disease?https://www.blogtalkradio.com/juliemadblogger/2017/09/13/an-evening-with-pamela-spiro-wagnerPsychologyhttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/juliemadblogger/2017/09/13/an-evening-with-pamela-spiro-wagner/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/juliemadblogger/2017/09/13/an-evening-with-pamela-spiro-wagnerWed, 13 Sep 2017 22:30:00 GMTAn evening with Pamela Spiro WagnerPamela Spiro Wagner graduated phi beta kappa from Brown University in 1975 then went to medical school before being hospitalized for psychiatric care. The diagnosis was schizophrenia for decades. Nevertheless, Wagner has won many awards for her writing.  Among her books is a popular memoir written with her twin sister, a psychiatrist, called, DIVIDED MINDS: Twin Sisters and Their Journey through Schizophrenia. Despite much adversity, Wagner has been lucky enough to have experienced four life-changing miracles along the way. The passion to write poetry and then to discover a talent for art in 2008 at the age of 55 are two of these. Wagner currently resides along with her cat, Beanie Baby, in Brattleboro, where she disavows all mental illness labels. 01:30:00Juliemadbloggernomental illness,schizophrenia,miracles,transformationWagner is an artist and poet who has busted loose from the schizophrenia label!https://www.blogtalkradio.com/juliemadblogger/2017/09/11/four-murdered-in-grotonPsychologyhttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/juliemadblogger/2017/09/11/four-murdered-in-groton/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/juliemadblogger/2017/09/11/four-murdered-in-grotonMon, 11 Sep 2017 20:30:00 GMTFour Murdered in GrotonOrion Krause had just graduated from Oberlin College of Music.

Psychiatric Survivors and Disability Coercion  Diagnosees are told they will never get better. They are told they have permanent "disorders" that can only be "managed." They are told they must see these god-like "professionals" who will run our lives and know better. This is a crime against humanity. This is also fraud. We stand against coerced permanent disability. Many of us could have used "time off," but are now looking back at decades ofproductive years stolen from our lives. Lost to a fake disease called "mental illness." Many of us have been made disabled by the "treatments" that were tiven to us, "treatments" such as ECT, which damages the brain, or pharmaceuticals, which damage the body's organs, and cause early death. Thus we have been put out of work.

Self-betrayal "Your parents raised you wrong." Breaking point (patient breaks down and cries while trying to smoke a cigarette because his hands are shaking so badly from the pills.) Leniency (A "nice" staff person takes the patient outside and they have a "talk.") The compulsion to confess (While outside, patient tells "nice" staff person he has been thinking he might be gay.) The channeling of guilt, Reeducation: logical dishonoring "Nice" staff tells patient that the explanation is that patient has a chemical imbalance of the brain.

I object on religious grounds. If most women are ignored or discredited (as I was) when they attempt to report rape, what does this say about the sex offender list? It only means "I got caught," or, "I got nailed."

Suicides within the System are always wrongful deaths, these indeed involve "foul play," by mental health professionals, i.e. "staff," as we well know. Current patients, ex-patients, hospital roommates, current workers in facilities, nurses, housekeeping staff, ex-workers, family, friends, cops, neighbors, teachers, spouses, journalists, lawyers, therapists, ex-therapists, and the like.

Let's talk!      We experienced terrible injustice in the System. Now, we are left traumatized. What do we do with our rage? Many of us have discovered that expression of rage might be tagged as yet one more "mental illness." Oh no! Whichever path we have found as the most productive means of expressing our anger, we didn't come upon this instantly. Our journeys are often wraught with hardship. What difficulties did you have? Did you lose relationships? Did you go through a self-destructive period, lose a job or become violent? Some survivors have developed clever and creative ways to communicate the outrage at the wrongs that were done to us. One method is through our political or legal system, by communicating with lawmakers or the media. Other survivors create writing, art, or music. Some do amazing work with children, educating them to stay away from the System.

In fact, he scared her so much she felt cornered and alone. Most of us have learned the hard way how NOT to discuss death with others. Many of us have lost good friends over what was perceived as a suicide threat, or over an attempt. How can we discuss the topic of death or suicide in a way that doesn't scare others? If we are feeling deeply sad or have lost hope, how can we ask our friends for support in a way that doesn't overwhelm them? Please call in with your ideas. And if you have a story to share, here is the place. Again, remember to preserve the privacy of others and use pseudonyms if appropriate.

Assault on identity, Guilt "You were seen stripped naked, singing in the street. You acted impulsively." "But I was singing in tune.. That was Verdi." "You must give up singing." Self-betrayal "Your parents raised you wrong." Breaking point (patient breaks down and cries while trying to smoke a cigarette because his hands are shaking so badly from the pills.) Leniency (A "nice" staff person takes the patient outside and they have a "talk.") The compulsion to confess (While outside, patient tells "nice" staff person he has been thinking he might be gay.) The channeling of guilt, Reeducation: logical dishonoring "Nice" staff tells patient that the explanation is that patient has a chemical imbalance of the brain. Progress and harmony, Final confession and rebirth "I have a mental illness. I will need treatment for the rest of my life."

How? Has it helped or harmed? Your host is psychiatric survivor Julie Greene, who was a mental patient for over three decades, but is now living freely in her community enjoying life as a non-patient. What do you enjoy about having a diagnosis? What are the advantages? Do you feel that diagnosis has harmed you, and why? Has it helped? If you wish to listen, you can do so on the web, or call in using a landline or cellular telephone. Charges may or may not apply. Some may be able to call from outside the USA. You may speak to the host by pressing 1 on your handset. With some phone services you may need to press *1 instead of just 1. I will try to be open to opposing viewpoints. I would prefer that if we are to criticize, we focus on ideas only, and not on people's characters, including the personalities of various persons in political office. We are not here to diagnose anyone, but to have a lively and invigorating discussion.  00:29:00JuliemadbloggernoCall in and discuss how psychiatric diagnosis has affected your life!https://www.blogtalkradio.com/juliemadblogger/2014/10/25/what-is-the-most-helpful-or-inspiring-piece-of-writing-that-you-have-ever-readWritinghttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/juliemadblogger/2014/10/25/what-is-the-most-helpful-or-inspiring-piece-of-writing-that-you-have-ever-read/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/juliemadblogger/2014/10/25/what-is-the-most-helpful-or-inspiring-piece-of-writing-that-you-have-ever-readSat, 25 Oct 2014 17:00:00 GMTWhat is the most helpful or inspiring piece of writing that you have ever read?From the Bible to Vonnegut to graffiti to tweets....Call in and share.
